March 2010

After a lot of fasting from friends and family and many many prayers, Peytons paralysis resolved on its own almost completely! :) I unluckily came down with post partum depression and had a really hard time for the 1st six months of Peytons life. I became OCD about germs and wouldn't allow anyone to touch her, not even her dad, unless I had seen them was there hands thoroughly. I became so paranoid that I was constantly spraying and wiping down the surfaces in our home. I used so much hand sanitizer that my hands were cracked and bleeding. I would even spray the bottoms of my pants and my shoes with Lysol when I got home from anywhere. (I was afraid some terrible germ had hitchhiked a ride on my pants or shoes from the grocery store floor.) Crazy right? Luckily I snapped out of it with help and medication. By March I began to relax and Peyton got her 1st cold, along with an ear infection.
